Just call him a N!&&ER and get it over with, Republicans. We ALL KNOW that’s what you mean

Diarist’s note: I apologize for the N-bomb. I am a white male and take offense to that term as well, but as we are all ADULTS (unlike the GOP and the far right base) we should be able to discuss all matters as adults, and that means discussing any and all matters within reason.

    I imagine that every young African American who is denied the opportunity to see and hear the first African American President in America’s long, proud and sad history on the first day of the school year will undoubtably guess sooner or later; “Is it because he is black? And if so, do they feel the same way about me?”

     And my answer to that hypothetical question is Yes. It is because he is black.

     President Barack Obama, who won the Presidency in a free and fair election by the American people despite claims to the contrary, has been called a Secret Muslim, a terrorist, a Kenyan, a socialist, a Nazi, a fascist, an Authoritarian, a despot, a dictator, a liar, a crook, a crony, a cheat, a racist and a reverse racist, he has been called everything but the one word that we know is behind all of the others and is on the tip of his most rabid opponenets tongues; A N—–.

    “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country, unless the President is Black!”

    I paraphrase, of course, the late and great President John F. Kennedy, who died at the hands of an assassins bullet after being demonized by the far right and it’s John Birch Society conspiracy theory cranks.

    Of course, if these words were spoken then by an African American President, well, that would have never happened. African Americans were barely citizens, barely had the right to vote or sit in a white man’s restaurant, let alone run for or win the Presidency, but one could imagine that if an African American President at the time had said the same quote as JFK, it would be followed by the Republican addendum, unless the President is Black!”.

    In only 7 months, 7 Damned Months we have seen the following blatant acts of racism and race baiting by the Republican party, and not once, NOT ONCE, has a single adult among them stood up and said ENOUGH OF THIS, I WILL NOT ALLOW IT.

    Not once.

more evidence of the obvious below the fold.

     And the evidence to the GOP’s racism and racist projection is both prolific and obvious.

    Wonkette notes that a racist e-mail was sent out by a legislative staffer for Tennessee GOP state senator Diane Black. The staffer, Sherplatfvormri Goforth, e-mailed this composite picture of the country’s 44 presidents, which represents President Obama with only a set of eyes:

Of course, America’s So Called Liberal Media/Right Wing Noise Machine has had it’s own hand in the racism/race baiting game, including the perpetuation of the birthers by Fox and CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who tipped his own so called Independant hand in this Gods awful moment.

    CNN’s Lou Dobbs stopped by the booth and exclaimed, “My wife will love this!” A photo shows Dobbs with a box of the mix in his hand.

     GOP politicians have not been ashamed of themselves enough to bite their tongues either. They praise right wing terrorists, they advocate violence and the threat of violence against those whom they oppose, they refuse to tell their base to act like adults and civilized people, and their base just goes farther and farther every day.

“I Want My Country White Back!!!!!”

And the media does not call it out, other than a few hours a noight on MSNBC. Instead, they ignore or encourage it.

Limbaugh plays “Barack the Magic Negro” on his show

Limbaugh calls Sotomayor, POTUS Obama Racist

     The master of the RWNM and the GOP’s official mouthpiece, of course, is Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, and it’s television propaganda arm, Fox News, who didn’t even wait for Barack Obama to win the President before they played the race baiting charge, a card they keep hidden up their sleeve in order to cheat the American electorate out of a intelligent political conversation every chance they get.

    After the fair and free election where Americans overwhelming rejected the Republicans candidates and elected President Barack Hussein Obama, the GOP’s media propaganda arm didn’t stop the racism there. They can’t help themselves. It is who they are. It defines them.

    And, of course, the coup de grâce

    “This guy (President Obama), is, I believe, a racist.”

     And this is ONLY after 7 months into the first African Americans Presidency in US History. There is much I have missed and certainly more and worse to come. This makes me SICK AND MAD AS HELL, and it should make you mad too.

     By refusing to denounce and fire Glenn Beck, Fox News and News Corp has chosen to endorse Glenn Beck’s racist projection and race baiting. By refusing to denounce racist statements made by their own party members, the GOP has chosen to endorse racism and race baiting. The only national African American figure, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, in the Republican party who might take offense at this has chosen to turn a blind eye to this racism. I wonder if Micheal understands that the moment he stands up to this blatant and obvious racism he is out on his ass. Fortunatly for Mr. Steele I am sure his landing will be cushioned by the big fat wallet in his back pocket.

    It is obvious by now that one of the main objections to this President that his opposition has is rooted in his skin color and his ethnic heritage. The fact that he is Black has “broke their brains”, thuugh, one must assume the average Republican still has a brain if they are hanging on to the elephants corpse still.

    To deny this is naïve at and foolish. I deeply dislike the phrase it is what it is, but it is. It is racist and the endorsement of racism. It is proof positive that the Republican party is racist and condones racism as a part of their political platform. To quote one Kossacks screen name Silence Is Complicity, and in this and many other cases, the GOP is guilty as hell.

So, let’s decode the Conservative message if we can.

1.     Obama is going to spread the walth around, to lazy minorities like President Obama

2.     Obama is a reverse racist and hates white people, because he is black and hates everyone who isn’t like him, just like you.

3.     Obama is a socialist who will give your hard earned money to  brown people just like him.

4.     Obama is NOT an American citizen, but in fact is a Kenyan and you can tell just by looking at him.

5.     Obama is a fascist Nazi who wants to kill your grandmother, baby in a death panel and take all control in a violent tyranny that will kill millions and millions and end freedom tommorrowbecause we all know that people like him are violent.

     Of course, I don’t hold these views myself. This is just my poor attempt to peek into the shrinking minds of the last few Republicans who are left in the GOP, an increasingly southern, old, white and uneducated party who is now encouraging parents to keep their children home from scholl instead of subjecting them to a speech by a Black President.

     Amazingly, wingnut and OBVIOUSLY WHITE parents are going to oblige. Why?

Maybe it is because they can’t trust their children with someone like that.

     And all the non white children who go to school that day and don’t see as many white students as they will the rest of the school year will know why. They may not know why exactly, but they will know.

     Maybe the first questions we should ask Republicans when we engage them in conversation is how they feel about President Obama. I have a feeling their answer will tell us quite a bit about them and how they really feel.

So, as the elected GOP officials, the Right Wing Media outlets and Republican voters calls the legitamatly elected (unlike President George W. Bush {R/War Criminal-Texastan} President Obama a

Elitist

Secret Muslim

Socialist

Communist

Fascist

Marxist

Nazi

Tyrant

Authoritarian

Oligar(c)h

Kenyan

Racist

Reverse racist

UnAmerican

Terrorist friendly

FEMA camp planning

Traitor

and Non American citizen

and who knows whatever hell the else they’ll be calling him tommorrow, a week from now, a month from now or a year from now,

Just put in the one word they will NEVER speak except by accident, the one word we ALL KNOW is behind all the other names, the one word they dare not speak, and if one should, it will certainly go without consequences as Republicans and their voters sit silent, but their children will know, and they will not need it to be explained. The children are the closest thing to adults in that party.

and that word is soooo ugly I will not repeat it myself, once is too much.

My advice to you, Republican voters, elected officials and the right wing media, can be summed up in six simple words.



GROW UP AND GET OVER IT!

  1. they deserve it. To do otherwise is to encourage even more of it, or worse.

  2. but I really don’t care what they call each other-it’s a farce, a charade, bullshit.

    Today, along with other things, Obama and friends bombed a bunch of people to death in Afghanistan. More than usual that is.

    It’s been barely chronically anywhere.

    And I’m supposed to care if republicans really want to call a democrat a nasty name, but are afraid too ?

    I’m over that.

    Thanks for linking here. Very nicely done.

    The chickens are really coming home to roost on this country’s past crimes.

  3. It’s the “I’m better than you are–you less than human” attitude that GOP’ers have had for years, but have at least attempted to disguise somewhat.  Now, with the advent of the Joe the Plumbers and Sara “just plain folk bigots” Palins, they not only admit to being ignorant bigoted racists–but they’re damn proud of it!  That’s the line that’s been crossed in recent years–with the encouragement and blessing of the Bushies, IMHO.  

    That’s when the last remnants of shame which restrained their more overt actions and words dissolved and were replaced by loud and proud bigotry.  And that’s not a “change” I am comfortable with quietly accepting–the slowly escalating Nazi-zation of the nation.    

  4. Pulling kids out of schools because the President wants to speak to them is the last piece of evidence in making the case. It’s racism!

    To me O is a big disappointment, I had high hopes of real change for this country, but to treat him like he’s some foreign invader trying to corrupt our children is insane.

    I don’t see how we can ever come together as a people ever again. The rift between Them and Us is too big to bridge.

    The question is where can we go from here?
